What We Do


At the Department of Water Resources (DWR), we know water. Every day, we produce more than 70 million gallons of water to be used by the residents and businesses of Gwinnett County.

We have invested nearly $1 billion over the last two decades to ensure that the water we process and later return to the environment is among the highest quality in the country.

DWR provides safe, clean water for nearly one million residents of Gwinnett County, as well as sustainable protection of local waterbodies.

We provide water and/or sewer services to more than 240,000 customer accounts, including 24/7/365 emergency on-call services to support our water, sewer, and stormwater systems.

We also conduct extensive water-related research to inform our current processes and prepare for the future.

How You Can Help

Lake Lanier, our sole water source, supports our quality of life in Gwinnett County and water conservation can help sustain this vital resource. Learn more

Drinking Water

Our two drinking water facilities provide safe, reliable drinking water from Lake Lanier that is delivered to homes, businesses, and other facilities via nearly 4,000 miles of distribution pipes.

Wastewater

More than 3,000 miles of sewer pipelines deliver wastewater to our three wastewater treatment facilities, where water is treated with some of the most technologically advanced treatment processes in the country.

Stormwater

We manage more than 1,400 miles of stormwater drainage pipes across the county to safely convey stormwater runoff from streets and private property to streams, rivers, and lakes.

Construction

We oversee construction projects to update and maintain the county’s water, stormwater, and sewer systems, along with our water production and wastewater facilities.

Research 

As an industry leader in water-related research, we partner with local universities, national research organizations, and international experts to conduct research and proactively address challenges.

The Water Tower at Gwinnett

The Water Tower at Gwinnett was conceived to guide policy makers and become an international innovation hub for water research. It is expected to be open to the public in 2022.

Maintaining Our Infrastructure

We frequently conduct projects to proactively maintain our water, sewer, and stormwater systems and ensure public health.
